Wilshire’s approach to portfolio construction is grounded in a risk-optimized framework designed to maximize the benefits of diversification across a broad opportunity set of liquid alternative mutual funds.

Portfolio Objectives

Return: 90 day T-Bill plus 3% to 4% annually

Risk: 4% to 6% annualized standard deviation

Beta: Below 0.4 versus traditional asset classes

There is no guarantee that any of the Portfolio Objectives will be met.

Information Regarding Performance Data
The performance results above should be reviewed in the context of the markets applicable to the investment strategies noted. All returns for periods greater than one year are annualized. Performance results are based on model portfolios maintained by Wilshire Funds Management (WFM). The models have been maintained in such a way as to record transactions at the same time they occur in actual client accounts in an attempt to approximate client returns as closely as possible. However, there are certain limitations in model performance as the model results may not completely represent the actual trading of securities in a client account. The results reflect reinvestment of all dividends and interest. Performance results reflect the deduction of the maximum Strategist Fee of 0.29% that WFM charges for the Wilshire Diversified Alternatives Portfolio. However, actual client results will be lower based on the imposition of platform fees, advisory fees, and custodial fees by third-party firms. As with all investments, there is no guarantee that the investment strategy will be successful and investors should be aware that investments can lose money, including principal, so that an investor could end up with less money than was invested. Past performance does not guarantee future returns, and processes used may not achieve the desired results.

Portfolio Strategies

Relative Value strategies invest long and short in fixed income securities and derivatives seeking to add value through hedging or security selection.

Global Macro strategies invest long and short across global equity, fixed income, commodity, and currency markets driven by a fundamental approach.

Event Driven Credit strategies maintain positions in companies currently or prospectively involved in corporate transactions of a wide variety, expecting the idiosyncratic risk of these events to drive returns.

Multi Strategy strategies invest across multiple strategies and can be either a single or multi-manager fund.

Investments in equities are subject to market risk so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Security prices can fluctuate significantly in the short term or over extended periods of time. These price fluctuations may result from factors affecting individual companies, industries, or the securities market as a whole. Investments in small-cap stocks may be subject to a higher degree of market risk than large-cap stocks, or more established companies’ securities. Furthermore, the illiquidity of the small-cap market may adversely affect the value of an investment. Investments in bonds are subject to interest rate, inflation, credit, currency, and sovereign risks. Investments in high-yield bonds are subject to greater credit risk and price fluctuations than higher-quality issues. Investments in international securities involve additional risks including currency rate fluctuations, political and economic instability, differences in financial reporting standards, and less stringent regulation of securities markets.

Risks of investing in real estate securities are similar to those associated with direct investments in real estate, including lack of liquidity, limited diversification, sensitivity to certain economic factors such as interest rate changes and market recessions, and falling property values due to increasing vacancies or declining rents resulting from economic, legal, political, or technological developments. An alternative investments strategy is subject to a number of risks and is not suitable for all investors. Investing in alternative investments is only intended for experienced and sophisticated investors who are willing to bear the high economic risk associated with such an investment.

It is not possible to invest directly in an index. The indices do not represent an investment. Index returns do not reflect payment of certain sales charges or fees an investor may pay to purchase the securities underlying the Index or investment vehicles intended to track the performance of the Index. The imposition of these fees and charges would cause actual performance of the securities/vehicles to be lower than the Index performance shown.

Model portfolios are exposed to the specific risks of the underlying funds in direct proportion to their percentage allocation. The funds comprising the models and the allocations to those funds have changed over time and may change in the future.

Definitions:
Standard Deviation: A statistical measurement shedding light on historical volatility. For example, a volatile stock will have a high standard deviation while the deviation of a more stable stock will be lower. Beta: A measure of volatility or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole. A Beta of 1 indicates that the portfolio’s value will move with the market. A beta of less than 1 means that the portfolio’s value will be less volatile than the market.
